[QUOTE="otrfjr, post: 430634, member: 4661"] With 18k on my 07, I decided it was time for the gunky/cloudy brake fluid to go. When I removed the rubber caps on the bleeder nipples on the right side of the front brakes, I found something disturbing: [IMG]https://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u229/andrewjenkins_photos/moto_stuff/cedar_key_may_2008028.jpg[/IMG] Has anyone seen this amount of corrosion on a 15 month old bike? I have a theory about why the two bleeders on the right side are so badly corroded & why the left nipple is perfect. I believe that it's a function of having the bike outdoors on the side stand with a cover. I'm guessing the cover allows water to collect down near the elastic which would place it right next to the brakes. Does this mean I need to replace the two bleeders on the right side? [/QUOTE]
